Oliver Hirschbiegel, director of Downfall, is
OK with all the parodies of the
Adolf-gets-bad-news bunker scene in his movie: "You couldn't get a

All this makes me wish I'd liked Downfall more.

Rene's Apple is a new addition to the blogroll.
The proprietor has thrown me some links, much appreciated. (As are
